I really like watching the Food Network.
The only problem (like my wife points out), is that you can't really tell if the food taste good or not... you just have to trust the people eating it on the show. Unlike Design Star or Project Runway, you can form your own opinion if something looks good or not... but you can't even smell the food much less eat it.
Regardless... I watch anyways. I used to like Iron Chef but find the format of Chopped much more interesting. My other favorite shows revolve around comfort food... Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and... The Great Food Truck Race.
Something about greasy food on wheels always appeals to me.
This season is interesting because it's basically "rookies", people who have never owned/operated a food truck, competing to not only win the $50k, but also their own food truck (the show provided each of the 8 teams with a food truck based on their team names, logos and food).
Once again, the Korean food team is winning (like in seasons 1 and 2) and unless they get caught for cheating like Korilla did last season... they may take it all. I'm only on episode 3 (there have been 5 so far) but it does seem like the Seoul Sausage truck (interestingly enough... they haven't served sausage yet) has the right combination of food novelty, speed of preparation, simple menu items and charisma to at least make it to the finals.
Does anyone else watch this show?
